Your own personal Desert Island Compilation Album

[greasd up deaf guy]

Rules: 1. You get fifteen tracks
         2. You can't use the same artist twice.
         
Here I go:

         1. The Beta Band- "Dry The Rain"
         2. The Velvet Underground-"Who Loves The Sun"
         3. Bob Dylan-"One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)"
         4. A.C. Newman-"On the Table"
         5. Spoon-"Paper Tiger"
         6. Pascal-"Mud"
         7. The New Pornographers-"The Laws Have Changed"
         8. Arcade Fire-"Neighborhood #2 (Laika)"
         9. Elvis Costello & The Attractions-"Senior Service"
        10. Pixies-"Where is My Mind"
        11. Modest Mouse- "3rd Planet"
        12. Frank Zappa- "Joe's Garage"
        13. Yo La Tengo- "You Can Have It All"
        14. Van Morrison- "Sweet Thing"
        15. David Bowie-"Rock & Roll Suicide"

        *Note-if I had to choose one album by one artist it would be Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars

That's how it stands today.

I will continually update.

Cire, you didn't adhere to the rules;)

Rusty, love the inclusion of the redding. Regarding my lack of variety, I could go the rest of my life without hearing hip-hop again save maybe outkast or the beastie boys. Particularly notorious big.

I don't hate rap.  99.9% is crap.  the other .01 % is the stuff that I have.

 

[michigancat]

Biggie's "Warning" kills that

[cireksu]

[pissclams]

did you see garth when he played at bramlage

[Dan Rydell]

did you see garth when he played at bramlage

No.  I never saw Garth live, which is one of my biggest regrets (and also means I've had a pretty darn fulfilling life thus far).

[cireksu]

I saw the brown newsclipping at Kreem cup of the show!

[ECN]

did you see garth when he played at bramlage

i did. his drummer was in a glass pod. im drunk.

[chum1]

did you see garth when he played at bramlage

Yes.  One of my neerdowell friends and I were cruising by the B on the night of the concert.  We decided to park on that one street (Hobbs?) off of that other street (Dickens? College? Hell, I don't know.  It's been ten years.) that goes by the football and basketball places and wander around a bit.  We were up by some of the doors when a campus cop eating a hot dog came outside.  We started chatting with him.  It turned out that he knew my dad.  He asked us if we wanted to go inside, so we followed him in, parted ways, and found a place where we could stand to watch the show.  I didn't really know any songs, but enjoyed the lights and the cowboy hats.

[ECN]

wow. my other list would be sooo close to this list. kick ass

[pissclams]

did you see garth when he played at bramlage

Yes.  One of my neerdowell friends and I were cruising by the B on the night of the concert.  We decided to park on that one street (Hobbs?) off of that other street (Dickens? College?

Growing up in NY I didn't know much (nothing) about country music but my friends were all going to the concert.  I went too.  Great time.

[chum1]

Garth will not make my compilation album.  And without the lights and thousands of cowboy hats, he has no chance.

[michigancat]

Garth will not make my compilation album. 

Brooks or Gardiner?

[chum1]

I think it's safe to say that I would include Ropin without having heard the song first.
